Some new Pustules have appeared on Gypsy

Dawn, there is steady concept in dermatology- any outward skin problems considered cry for help from inside/ inner problems. Treating skin problem is fine but you are not getting to the root of the problem. You might also want to look at the whole body as opposed to treating each single symptom separately.
Sometimes when it comes to Cushing syndrom-even if testing is borderline or non conclusive or even negative BUT symptoms are present- one needs to get treatment anyway.
Also if anyone using steroid creams in the house? Sometimes when people using creams on their body and dog rubs against their skin all it takes to get in trouble...
I am not saying get the treatment now as there is no good treatment for Cushing and your pup being so young for the usual group of dogs that have CUshing, I am saying you might want to get outside the circle and look for second and third opinion as well as consult holistic vets in the area.

Thanks for your input. We have been in a discussion about testing for cushings because I also feel it is not an outward condition. I've talked to Dr. Dodds when we tested her thyroid and she recommended I do this. My vet wants to get the skin condition healed before putting her through a day of testing at the office because she seems to have outbreaks during stressful times also. I appreciate the links to the supplements. I've looked at some also but wasn't sure so I trust your medical background. Thanks so much.
